    Grrr... after 4 weeks of scouting, I haven't been able to find this exercise tool anywhere in Cancun :(

    Ive asked at 3 different Marti`s, Gym shops etc. but NOTHING!

    I wanted to ask if anyone coming/going from the States, Canada and/or Europe could buy one and bring it here.

    Of course I`ll give a "few pesos" for the trouble :)

    Back home in Sweden they cost 15-25 $US. Ive checked Ebay, but the cost of getting it shipped here doubles the whole price :(

    Found a couple on Mercadolibre, but the sellers didn't have the best customer reviews and none of them want to specify that its actually new.

    This is the one I`m talking about by the way :)

    Have you tried the "As seen on TV" places? There's a kiosk in Las Americas and one outside of Soriana. Don't know if they've got them but it's worth a shot. Good luck!

    (You can always just find someone to hold your feet for those sit ups, si?) :wink:

    Hey Rawkus, try downstairs in Liverpool or Sears, i've seen them before and for certain seen them in our gym, i'll keep a look out for you and if not will ask the gym where they get them from.

    CancunCanuck: Ok, have checked them, but no luck :( They had all these other things, one of scarily reminds me of "Old Sparky", the legendary electric chair....

    Sit ups? Cant stand them and they are not as effective as I want them to be... Also they make my lower back hurt quite a bit...

    LOVE the wheel since you do several things at once = saves time :wink:

    Ill keep looking at the places you mentioned, thanks :)


    SamCancun: I didnt find any, but then again I havent checked neither Liverpool nor SEARS in a while, thanks.

    If you could ask at your gym that would be great.

    Im astonished regarding what kind of "thingys" I did find when it comes to ab-machines... Many of them reminds of UFO`s etc :lol:

    Thanks to the both of you - Im off to SEARS and Pool later.

    Cheers.

    CancunCanuck and Sam:

    Went to both the "as seen on tv" shops - nothing :(

    SEARS and Liverpool both came with the same answer: "We stopped selling them 1.5 years ago"... :(

    So I`m still on square one.

    If ANYONE knows anyone who's coming and would be willing to bring one from US, Can or EU that would be great :)

    Thanks.
